And secondly that booing is much the same as telling someone to "5uck off". What absolute rubbish.
These are merely manifestations of passion...

Edited quote.
I like your logic. And fans should be able to express joy or pain in performances as they see fit. I do also think that others have an equal right to disagree. Telling Mick to f off, is coarse, crude and perhaps inarticulate, but we don't generally have a right not to be offended by others.
Mick's obviously offended and rightfully so, but I don't think we should reasonably expect either of them to moderate their behaviors, even if we'd prefer either or both them to have done.
Freedom of speech, just watch what you say!
